South County Athletic Association (SCAA) has youth sports programs in the Lorton / Springfield VA area for football, soccer, cheerleading, lacrosse, basketball, field hockey, wresting, volleyball, and track.

For all returning players, thank you for making our first year a success!!! We'd love pictures to share with all who visit our website...please send them to
.

Our hope is that your family will (re)join one of the fastest growing sports for both women and men in the U.S. and around the world here at your local youth club. Although, we primarily service students zoned for the South County HS pyramid, we are not bound by zip code restrictions and welcome all who would like to register.

Philosophy

For Players...Be safe, Have fun, Be a positive teammate, and finish better than you started.

For Parents...Be supportive, Cheer, and if you want to coach, sign-up HERE.

Seasons

SCAA offers volleyball during the fall and spring seasons for girls and boys in Grades 4-8. Click HERE for fees.

Fall: early Sep - mid Nov

Spring: mid Mar - mid Jun ​

Leagues

There are 3 leagues...4th grade preparatory, elementary (5th-6th), and middle (7th-8th). All leagues are co-ed, meaning a team can consist of both girls and boys. T

Although there are no formal tryouts for the leagues, each player in 5th – 8th grade will be evaluated in an effort to “even out” the teams.

​Coaches are vital to the success of this program. If interested, please click HERE.

No experience is necessary.

Coaches will have at least one coaches training before the start of the season (pending gym availability) or at the beginning of the season.

If a student (age 14 - 17) wants to coach, they must be assisted with an adult 18+.
